Meschack Elia, a Congolese striker courted by the Canaries of FC Nantes, will ultimately not join the club during this summer transfer window. According to information reported by Ouest France, the probable participation of the Congolese international in the African Cup of Nations would have been an obstacle to his transfer. Indeed, Elia is a key player in the Congolese selection and his international obligations would therefore have prevented his coming to Nantes.
This decision will certainly disappoint Nantes supporters who had high hopes for the arrival of Meschack Elia. However, it seems that the player is still very popular in France. Montpellier would be particularly interested in its services and would closely monitor developments in the situation.
Meschack Elia’s popularity in France is not surprising, as he is considered one of the best Congolese strikers of his generation. His experience with TP Mazembe and his title of African Nations champion in 2016 with the Leopards A’ have made him a sure value in African football.
Despite this twist, Meschack Elia’s career is far from compromised. With his talent and impressive performances, there is no doubt that he will attract the attention of other European clubs. It remains to be seen who his next club will be and how he will develop in the coming months.
In conclusion, discussions between Meschack Elia and FC Nantes were interrupted due to the player’s probable participation in the African Cup of Nations. However, with his talent and growing reputation, it is highly likely that other clubs will be interested in his services. Fans will therefore have to stay tuned to find out the next chapter in the career of this talented Congolese striker.
